Details

What's wrong: Suzuki motor of america, Inc. (Suzuki) is recalling certain model year 2004-2013 gsx-r600 and gsx-r750, and model year 2005-2013 gsx-r1000 motorcycles. In combination with older brake fluid, corrosion of the brake piston inside of the front brake master cylinder generates gas that may result in a reduction of fluid pressure transmission to the front brake.

Why it matters: As a result, front braking power may be reduced increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: Suzuki will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front brake master cylinder, free of charge. The recall began on November 18, 2013.
